Like drinking herbal tea in a yellow kitchen surrounded by friends, that is what I want this blog to be.

Writing

I love to speak. Teaching is my catnip. When I try to get those same words through my pen and onto paper they fall apart ... the words that is. Despite this disadvantage I have always wanted to write children's books, and (fanfare of trumpets) I finally have! I have two stories nearing completion. One of my peer editors, a wonderful and experienced writer, suggested that I start blogging to get more comfortable with moving the words out of my head, past my mouth and out through my fingers. I had wanted to try blogging for a while, and this was just the incentive I needed to commandeer my hubby's computer and get going.

Yes, I occasionally talk to the screen, but I think this writing business is starting to work out. Thanks for being here with me. It means a lot to know that what I write might actually be read.

  3. How wonderful, Bethany! I had no idea. If the writing on your blog is any indication of what your children's books will be, then I cannot wait to read them! Thanks for the wonderful read at 2 am while feeding my baby... now back to bed! Love ya!
